Attend a woodworking class and build a custom desk of course.
I think of it as a modern take on the bureau desks that I’m sure would be very familiar to many. But rather than the low backs and curved shutters it is built high and square in order to maximise the desk space when lowered and the size of monitor that can be stored behind.
It’s made of solid Tasmanian Blackwood. Is 1400mm high and 380/190mm deep. The desk surface is very solid, which was a chief concern.
It’s just had a single pass with 120grit sanding.
It needs another pass with 240grit, a wet and another 240 pass, then a final stain with a fairly neutral stain to preserve as much of the natural wood colour as possible.
There’s room for 2 thin bezel 27″ monitors arranged vertically once I get the correct monitor arms in place. The monitor in the pic is an older 27″ for scale.
Special thanks to Richard Crossland for making it all possible.
